It never fails...

Just when it seems like we can take a breath we get a slap of reality again. Diane took Cody in yesterday to the clinic and do a chest CT to complete all the scans needed for MSK in New York. Well they noticed a new spot on his lung. We are hoping it is a lung infection but there is a possibility that it is a fungus, or worse. They took cultures yesterday and should know today or tomorrow if it is a fungus. If it is, there is a problem of whether Cody's liver is strong enough for the meds that are needed to fight the fungus. If it is worse, well, I don't even want to go there.

Cody had a very bad day yesterday. Diane told me he had major meltdowns all day. He also had one when it was time to go to bed. Diane and I both are at whits end with these outbursts.

He is still on for his surgery tomorrow. We hope to get some good news by then also. I will keep you all posted....

Be an angel, help find a company that can help Corporate Angel get flights out of the Washington DC area to the New York area. They only offer empty seats to cancer patients and their parents.

Have you called Vicki with Corporate Angels? She was our contact person and her number is 866.328.1313. She might be able to assist in other planes that are leave out the DC area. I hope this helps brother and let us know if you need anything. Hug Cody for us and tell the family we said hello.

Mickey, Sorry to hear about the spot. I will pray that it turns out to be nothing. Good luck with the surgery tomorrow.My continued prayers of strength for both Cody and the family. Just remember that Goe will never give you more then you can handle. Rely on his strength to get you through!Bruce

About Me

I grew up, ah, got older in Ford City Pa. A small town 45 minutes up the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh. Growing up a true 70's child I really thought that the Steelers were suppose to win the Super Bowl every year. :D Being the free spirit that I am I couldn't wait to get out on my own, so I joined the Navy. I flew out to the Philippines and met my boat the USS John Paul Jones DDG32. From there we sailed back to the states and spent most of the rest of my tour between San Diego and Long Beach. Since getting out I married twice, had 6 children and lived in Groton CT, Pensacola FL, Germantown MD and now in Northern VA. I've been married to my wife Diane for 10 years now and have three energetic and loving children. My life reads like a fiction novel in many ways. Many ups and downs but I feel blessed to have this life. To some it may seem boring but it's all mine.. :D
